Last Day Working as a Male

[steph1964]

Today was my last day working as a male at my department. As of Monday I start work as Stephanie. They have started making changes to the various computer systems and asked me if I would care if some changed over before Monday since the IT people don't work weekends. I told them that I would prefer changes happen before Monday than have some still not changed by then.

Tonight when I was working, I locked my computer and it showed my name as Stephanie. Later I got an email and it was sent to Stephanie despite my male name still displaying on Outlook. I sent an email to my private email and it showed that it came from Stephanie.

It was an awesome feeling to see that on a work computer.

Stephanie...this is wonderful news! I know that it may be a rough moment for you on Monday, and its wonderful that the company you work for is being proactive (I know that they are supposed to anyway but...) and a big new "Hi" and "Welcome" to you on Monday!

[simalina]

I'm really happy for you Stephanie, things like these can really make ones day =) I wish you all the best on monday!

Great news. Iit will most likely be confusing for a bit. Take it in stride and have some fun with the confusion.

[LeaP]

Big day, Stephanie. I'm happy for you. Your preparation sounds exemplary and I'm sure it will go well as a result.

[I Am Paula]

Another huge hurdle crossed. You have every right to be proud.

Congratulations from the heart :), that picture of your computer screen is as beautiful as any glam-shot you might post of yourself!!!

[Anne Elizabeth]

I really only have one word to say about this but I think I need to add others to actually make it work well. Congratulations, wonderful, terrific, have a great day, have fun and enjoy.

[Kaitlyn Michele]

I'm really delighted for you and I wish you all the best!!!

I totally get the computer screen thing...

it's better than seeing your name up in lights!!

[Jorja]

Uh Oh, take a deep breath, say a prayer, and go get 'em. It is Real as of Monday! :)

I am so happy for you. I know you will do just fine. I don't know about the computer screen thing....

I really enjoyed seeing my name up in lights. ;)

You are a woman. Now own it! You go girl. Leanne

[Marleena]

That is so cool Steph! You have a great workplace by the sounds of it. Time to move on to better things.:)

Congrats, Stephanie! I can only imagine how awesome seeing the computer lock screen with your female name on it would be. Looking forward to hearing how Monday goes!

[Rianna Humble]

I can still recall when that happened for me 3 years ago. It is the most wonderful feeling! Congratulations Stephanie

[Kimberly Kael]

I remember that day fondly! Congratulations, I wish you a very smooth on-the-job transition ... and a sense of humor for the inevitable nuisance complications that will arise.

[Ceri Anne]

Very cool Stephanie, I'm so happy for you.

[PretzelGirl]

That's awesome! A great way to be sent off into the weekend.

Go Stephanie!!!

[Amy R Lynn]

I can only imagine the nervous excitement that you are feeling! Go get em girl! Congrats! I'm sure Monday will be just fine. Its great to be working for an accepting employer.

[Badtranny]

Yeah, that's pretty cool. Seeing my new name in all the little mundane things (email, cards, door sign, parking space) was really neat.

This is what it's all about.

Take a breath and enjoy the feeling.

[Chickhe]

Congratulations. Must seem like a bourne identity situation in some ways?!

[AllieSF]

Actually, you have been working as a female all your life. Monday you will just change clothes to bring that in line with who you are. Congrats, one more step forward bites the dust. How many more steps are there?? No need to answer.

[donnalee]

A vision of the loveliness to come.
Monday, go get 'em!

[vikki2020]

Congrats, Stephanie! Now, what to wear on the "first day"!!? :)

[Leah Lynn]

Congatulations, Steph! What a milestone. BTW, I'm jealous!

Hugs,

Leah

[StephanieC]
